Propiconazole TC

Description

1. Product Overview

Propiconazole TC is a high-purity systemic triazole fungicide technical concentrate, designed for industrial formulation into crop protection products. Its primary industrial use is as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (AI) in broad-spectrum fungicides that control ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, and deuteromycetes pathogens in cereals, fruits, and turf. The key value proposition is its superior eradicant and preventive activity combined with long residual control, enabling formulators to produce cost-effective, stable end-use products. Strategically, it remains indispensable in global agriculture due to rising fungal resistance pressures and the need for high-yield, quality-sensitive crops like wheat, rice, and bananas.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Propiconazole (CAS No. 60207-90-1); IUPAC: 1-[[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole

• Purity Level: ≥ 95% TC (typical 96–97% for premium-grade industrial use)

• Physical Form: Off-white to light beige, free-flowing crystalline powder

• Particle Size: 98% passing through 325 mesh (for optimal suspension and formulation efficiency)

• Melting Point: 107–112°C

• Bulk Density: 0.40–0.60 g/cm³ (tap density available upon request)

• Packaging Options: 25 kg net multi-wall kraft paper bags with PE liner; 200 kg net fiber drums; 1,000 kg net anti-static FIBCs (big bags)

• Shelf Life: 36 months when stored in original unopened containers in dry, cool (≤30°C), well-ventilated conditions

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Large-scale agrochemical formulation, seed treatment manufacturing, turf and ornamental production, and post-harvest crop protection.

• Specific Operational Use Cases:

  • Cereal grains (wheat, barley, oats): Controls leaf blotch, rust, and powdery mildew at 125–250 g AI/ha.

  • Rice: Suppresses sheath blight and blast when formulated as emulsifiable concentrate (EC) or suspension concentrate (SC).

  • Bananas: Manages black sigatoka via aerial or ground application, extending green life post-harvest.

  • Seed treatment: Protects corn and sorghum against systemic seed-borne fungi.

• Performance Advantage: Propiconazole TC delivers 30–40% longer residual activity compared to older triazoles (e.g., triadimefon) due to its strong cuticle penetration and xylem-mobile systemic action. It also exhibits lower phytotoxicity risk on labeled crops and synergy with strobilurins in co-formulations.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing with HPLC testing per batch; purity variance ≤0.5% across shipments.

• Supply Reliability: Backed by vertically integrated synthesis of key intermediates (1,2,4-triazole, propyl ketone), ensuring uninterrupted supply even during raw material shortages.

• Logistics Capability: Global network of warehousing in Rotterdam, Houston, and Shanghai – 5-day lead time for containerized bulk orders.

• Price Competitiveness: Tier-1 producer scale with cost per kilogram 12–18% below European generic manufacturers, while maintaining USP/NF-grade impurity profiles.

• Sustainability & Compliance: REACH pre-registered; phthalate-free, non-dusting particle engineering; wastewater zero-discharge manufacturing sites.

• Technical Support: Full dossier access (FIFRA, GLP data), stability study reports, and formulation guidance (EC, SC, EW, FS) provided under CDA.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20 metric tons (MT) per product grade and specification

• Loading Capacity: 20 MT per 20-foot dry container (standard palletized: 20 pallets × 1,000 kg net FIBC, or 800 × 25 kg bags)
  *Note: 40-foot HC container can accommodate up to 28 MT with optimized stacking.*
